Port of Miami

Now that Disney Cruise Line is sailing from Miami for the first time and offering Florida resident and other promotions, it’s more convenient and affordable than ever for local families to book their dream cruise vacation.

Miami-based itineraries are planned through the first half of 2014, alternating between the Disney Wonder and Magic.

“[Miami] is such a great, vibrant city; it’s so much fun to be [here],” Cruise Director Christiaan Abbott told me as my family and I sailed on the four-night Bahamian itinerary onboard the Disney Wonder, with stops at Key West, Nassau, Bahamas, and Disney’s private island, Castaway Cay.
